Density currents at steady regime

This work brings as its main contribution the study of the phenomenon of density currents in non-stratified reservoirs, with flows in steady regimes. Flows are analyzed for a wide range of Reynolds and Richardson numbers in the entrance of the reservoir. Based on this hypothesis, a hybrid numeric model is presented considering the Reynolds Transport's Equation - focusing on the conservation for volume, mass and momentum - with the intention of obtaining three-dimensional components of velocities, reduced acceleration of gravity and geometric characteristics of currents along the reservoir. It ...
